Welcome Robert Ahlqvist!
The time has come to strengthen our team on the sales side as well and we are happy to welcome Robert Ahlqvist to Synerity. Robert will be based in Stockholm and has over 30 years of experience in marketing and sales in a wide range of industries.
- After trying out a few different jobs after high school, I applied to a folk high school and studied advertising and marketing communication before being hired by an advertising agency. When the agency was dissolved after a few years, I was advised to apply for a job as a media salesman, and I was hired by Futurum Media, which did many assignments for the Swedish Football Association.
- Since then, I have continued in the sales industry and have been employed as a key account manager at the advertising radio channel Vinyl 107, project manager at the CRM company Infomakers and advertising manager at IDG. I most recently came from a position as sales and partner manager at Insight Events," says Robert.
What attracted you to Synerity?
- I have always had an interest in customer service and have felt that it is something that I would like to try to work with in some form. When Synerity participated in Insight Events fairs, I got in touch with Glenn, and when the need arose for a new sales person in Stockholm, I was asked. Working with IT solutions is partly a whole new world and new terminology. But I have always had a great curiosity and a great desire to learn new things.
What qualities characterise you in your professional role?
- I hope and believe that the world around me sees me as a very driven and creative person. It is important for me to create long-term relationships with my clients and build mutual trust. In addition, I enjoy working in a project format and look forward to becoming part of the Synerity team.
Robert enjoys spending his free time with family and friends, and is also a keen golfer.
- The golf course is a place for both relaxation and exercise, and I am part of a big lovely bonus family that consists of 7 children besides me and my wife. We also have a second home in Thailand that we love to go to.
